The goal is to enhance their discoverability, to achieve this the initial focus is on exploring the possibility of renaming the packages so that they share a common prefix, making it easier for uses to locate them in the package list.

You could also set up a cranlike package repository on r-universe,
where you include all the packages from your university (both those
from CRAN and others). This will provide a nice overview of all the
packages in your institute and makes them discoverable via web UI and
r-universe search engine.

Many other organisations are represented here as well, some examples:

 - https://ropensci.r-universe.dev
 - https://lcbc-uio.r-universe.dev
 - https://vimc.r-universe.dev
 - https://kwb-r.r-universe.dev
 - https://mrcieu.r-universe.dev
 - https://inbo.r-universe.dev

And many more from: https://r-universe.dev/organizations/. Getting
